The Clinton new 21st Century Southern Strategy
Note: "the southern strategy," started under Richard M. Nixon in 1968, and described Republican efforts to use race as a wedge issue. Bill and Hillary Clinton seem to be using a new Southern Strategy to court black voters away from Obama.

As reported by WaPo, that line of attack jumped into the public eye during an interview the former president did with PBS's Charlie Rose in which he said making Barack Obama the nominee would constitute a "roll of the dice" since the Illinois senator had spent such a short time in elected office.

Of course Hillary Clinton is disputing the Poll Results. She is continuing to use her new 21st Century Southern Strategy by using the Bill Clinton "gamble" language in the final 72 hours of the Iowa race, telling USA Today's Susan Page that she was "not asking voters to take me on a leap of faith", implicitly contrasting her alleged steadiness with the risk associated with picking Obama. Sounds like old school southern strategy politics of Richard Nixon to me.Barack Obama 32%
Hillary Clinton 25%
John Edwards 24%
